About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and I will love your pets like my own! Over the years I’ve gained experience with pet-sitting for my friends and neighbors, as well as caring for my own pets! I am confident I can provide amazing care for your furry family! I am a senior in high school, working part time and looking for extra jobs. My schedule is very flexible!! But typically I’m available after 230 Monday through Thursday I am well-versed in caring for all kinds of cats and dogs! I will give your pet(s) my full attention and do whatever necessary to keep they safe, healthy, and happy!
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. They were happy with her for every visit and always gave me updates, she seems to take great care for both of them and I would love to make her my cat sitter again!”
About: I have had a dog for 20 years, my whole life! I have watched other dogs for 10 years by letting them out, walking them, or overnights. I love playing with dogs! I am a college student on break and am free daily! I work at a restaurant but only picking up shifts so will be free a lot of the time! I have a fenced in yard for pets to run around! My neighborhood is a great spot for long walks! I have a small friendly little dog who loves to play.
About: Hi! I am a huge animal lover and I’ve been dog walking on and off the apps for years now. I also have my own dog at home. Let me know if you’re at work or away and need some help with yours! I take care of my dog very well and when she’s settled she’s okay with taking a nap while I go walk more dogs! I love staying busy during the week especially! I would come to your house and take your dog out or on a walk in your neighborhood. I’ll pick up their poop and dispose of it properly. If you would like I can take a picture of your dog while we walk. I can feed your dog and fill their water. I also do drop-ins if your dog just needs a little company or wants to go in the backyard.
“Liz was so wonderful with my cats and dog! They were so happy to see her every time she came to take care of them. And she sent me regular updates and was quick to communicate with me!”
“Ella did a wonderful job of caring for our Maya. With frequent picture updates, we knew she was having a blast. Ella was easy to communicate with and kept our Maya safe.”
About: I work part-time for an independent pet-sitting company and have lots of sitting and walking experience. I grew up taking care of family dogs and have recently become accustomed to cat care as well. Employed part-time and a part-time student (asynchronous schedule). Generally very available and plenty of flexibility. I’m especially open to sitting on the weekends. I don’t have a fenced yard, but am more than willing to transport pets to a more favorable outdoors spot to play/relax. There are two cats in my home, but I’m able to keep them separated for extended periods of time.
“Matt is a kind, gracious, and flexible sitter! He took excellent care of my pups, sent me pictures, spent quality time with them, and did everything I asked and more! He was on time, sent photo and text updates, and responded quickly to messages. He went above and beyond and helped me feel at ease whilst being away from my boys. Thank you, Matt!”
“I needed someone to watch my 2 dogs (one is 16 pounds and the other is 45) and Taylor was able to check in on them in the next day! She is amazing! She took them out for potty breaks and refilled their water along with sending me pictures of them each visit. She is so greatly appreciated, I highly recommend.”
About: I grew up in a household with many animals and have always loved walking our dogs and taking care of the cats and other animal friends. I would love to care for your pets and give them a special moment in their day and help you remove one thing off the to-do list. Our lives get very busy and for pet-owners, having an extra hand here and there can be very beneficial. As a college student, I am using Rover to help with finances during the semesters. Mixing physical exercise with hanging out with your pet for some time sounds like the perfect activity for me! I hope to be able to assist you with your pet needs. Best, Sieira I am currently a college student at West Chester University and a part-time employee at Wawa, so my availability depends on the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am able to be booked for walks or drop ins from 11:30am until 5pm. Saturdays I am only available in the afternoon, from 4pm to 8pm. Sundays I am available anytime requested in the morning until 5pm! I always ensure the pet is comfortable on walks, offering plenty of sniff breaks and giving them lots of water afterwards. For drop ins, I would love to hang out with your pet and allow for some fun socialization when they need it! I always do a temperature check on what the pet is feeling before taking action, as every animal is different and has various needs.
About: Hello everyone, my name is Kanassanan, you can call me Kate. I grew up with cats and dogs. I’m not afraid of grumpy cats or jumping dogs. I’m currently having one tuxedo cat and a Sheppard mix. While I’m in college I used to walk my friends' dogs. I love to spend time with them. I’m currently working part-time. I would love to spend my time with your pups. My schedule is flexible and I’m looking to have a good time with them. I have experience babysitting overnight with dogs. I can sleep next to them or keep an eye on them to make sure your pups are safe.
About: I know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies when you're away from home, which is why I strive to provide top-notch daytime care. Whether I'm popping in for a drop-in visit or taking them out for some fresh air, my services include: feeding and medication per the pet parent’s instructions, plenty of walks, play time, and lots of cuddles (if they’re okay with that!) with photo updates throughout my visit. As an animal shelter volunteer, I especially have experience with cats, including kittens as young as 2 weeks old. Since I have recently moved to Philadelphia my availability is now completely open, which works out perfectly for scheduling visits! Any scheduling discrepancies will be communicated ASAP. My approach to pet care is centered on safety and maintaining a stress-free routine. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a 'safety-first' environment by double checking locks and removing potential hazards.
About: I worked at a veterinary clinic for 12 years, and have had cats my whole life. I currently have 3 happy cats. I help out at a local cattery with socializing, cleaning, feeding, etc. I love connecting with animals! They have so much love to offer. I am free most days, generally mornings and later afternoons into evenings. I am busy certain days during the week from about 11 am to 3 pm. I can do drop-ins at a client's home, i.e. dog walking, feeding, socializing etc. I have the flexibility to do this every day. I will send pics too. I can also provide transport services!
“Elena did an amazing job with our boys! We have a very large excited Labrador we were nervous about leaving with someone new, but she handled him amazingly! I was very happy with all the updates and pictures she left us while we were gone. Would highly recommend:)”
About: All of my friend’s pets love me! It’s easy for me to match their energy and help them forget that their favorite people aren’t home, you! I currently work full time but my schedule allows for me to stop by the house twice a day. I start work at 11am in the city, so depending where you live, I usually leave for my commute around 10am. My day ends at 7pm, then I head right to your pets from there. I never leave without playtime, unless they are really shy but I’m persistent. If my schedule works for you I would love to keep your pets company. I have a baseball field down the street from me that your pets can run wild in. During the week there’s no one there in the morning and it’s fenced in. Your cat will have plenty of toys and areas to roam free in my house.
About: I know when a dog is anxious or needs attention. Previously working at a Canine Club has made me understand dogs more especially with watching multiple at once. I handle big and small dogs and have excelled immensely with this job. I am a full-time student at WCU. I will stay with the dog as long as I can and can make frequent visits if need be. I will always have my eyes on the dog at all times whilst giving endless amount of attention and love. If there is a gated area provided, and is a nice day out, I would mainly spend most of my visit outside to get the dog fresh air and some room to run around.
“Victoria watched our cat Theo while we were on vacation and he was very well taken care of! Lots of pictures provided every day and she even stayed extra long some days to give him extra attention”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Newtown Square is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newtown Square
Emma was wonderful with Benny while we were away. She was very reliable, kept me updated every day, and paid close attention to his food, water, and overall behavior. I really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, especially since Benny can be a little cautious with new people. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was checking on him every day. I would definitely recommend Emma and would be happy to book with her again!
Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative, and made the entire experience seamless. She sent photos during the visit, took my dog on a nice walk, and was incredibly kind and friendly throughout. It gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was handled so well. Fantastic experience, I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her! 🐾
Amber aka my dog whisper! She's amazing with my pups. They love her and listens to her and ignores my asks lol. Amber far exceed her job expectations in that when my cat went missing less than a week Amber had started watching my pups. Amber immediately contacted her friend to create a missing cat flyer for me. She still ask the status of missing cat. It's rare to find kindness in a person you just met in less than a week. I highly recommend Amber!! You can trust Amber to love and take care of your fur babies as if they are her own fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Newtown Square is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Newtown Square. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newtown Square choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
